Manitex CEO sees modest 'economic improvement'

CEO, David Langevin, commented, "Our macroeconomic view is largely unchanged from our last update, namely, that we anticipate a continuation of modest economic improvement overall with no growth in Europe. For Manitex, we would expect to see our business model to remain focused with 50% of our revenues coming from energy and 50% from general commercial markets. As demonstrated by our recent introduction of the Manitex TC 700 crane, we remain committed to introducing ground breaking products that offer significant sales upside and we intend to continue to pursue quality acquisitions which strategically fit our Company and can contribute materially to our bottom line performance."
